Lakes And Reservoirs By Matthew Brandt


Matthew Brandt was born in Los Angeles in 1982. He worked with his father as a photo-assistant in his early adolescence. As a young man, Brandt briefly abandoned photography turning to painting.

While studying at Cooper Union in New York he fully embraced photography as his medium of choice. Following college, Brandt worked for two years for architectural photographer Robert Polidori.

In 2008 he returned to Los Angeles to complete his M.F.A in photography at the University of California, Los Angeles.
His first solo exhibition was held the following year at Cardwell Jimmerson Gallery, Los Angeles.

This work is from his ‘Lakes and Reservoirs’ series in which ‘color photographs are soaked in the specific lake or reservoir water that they represent’.
